Yes. In short term, Smbios/ACPI still need to be handled by Qemu. We will have a reference board to upstream to edk2-platform compatible with server platform spec, which is still under review now. After that, Smbios/Acpi will be taken over by firmware directly.

The need for having a platform separate to virt for compliance testing was discussed in RISE in RVI meetings. Thanks for driving this. Will the EDK II platform also generate the SMBIOS table or shall this be handled in QEMU? Will further work in edk2-platforms be needed to provide full compliance with the the server platform specification?
